Chapter 772 Redemption
"Who are you?" Motorov asked.
"Shuerka, commander of the 82nd Infantry Regint!" Shulka replied.
"Oh, that's the 'breakout hero'!" Motorov replied.
It seems that the na "Breakout Hero" has also reached the Supre Command. However, this does not seem to be surprising. The Supre Command should be the most well-inford unit, and nothing can hide their eyes and ears.
However, the movents of the 51st Army were kept from them for a while, although not for a long ti.
Motorov seed very angry because of this. He said bluntly on the phone: "You don't know what you are doing, and you don't know how serious it is. Do you know that you are responsible for this behavior?"
"Yes, we know, Comrade Motorov!" Shulka replied: "We originally wanted to report to the Supre Command, but...we are worried that the enemy will obtain intelligence and expose the strategic target prematurely..."
"Don't take for a fool!" Motorov said angrily: "You save these words to explain to Comrade Stalin!"
Hanging up the phone with a bang.
Zolotarev and Trufanov could not help but turn pale, as if the sky was about to fall.
However, the worries of the two are still sowhat different.
Zolotarev is more worried about how the Supre Command will punish them, while Trufanov is worried...
"Can this battle still be fought?" Trufanov asked: "We need the support of the Supre Commander, the coordination of the Air Force, supplies and the 57th Army! If the Supre Command does not agree with our tactics...then everything It's all over!"
"Everything is over" refers not only to this battle, but also to the future of Trufanov and others... If the Supre Command does not support it, it is impossible for the 51st Army to win the battle. If the 51st Army cannot win the battle, then Trufanov Farnov and others are finished.
At this mont, Shulka saw regret in the eyes of both Trufanov and Zolotarev.
Only Shulka remained calm.
"Don't worry!" Shulka said, "They will continue to support us!"
"Why?" Trufanov asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because of this battle!" Shulka replied: "They will know the consequences of not supporting us, and no one will want to see that consequence!"
Shulka guessed right, no one wants to see or bear the consequences of losing the battle.
Motorov lacks a strategic overall view, or it can also be said that he is used to being arrogant in the position of vice chairman of the Supre Command, and is always used to speaking to his subordinates in such a top-down, absolutely authoritative and unquestionable tone.
But Stalin was not as short-sighted as Motorov.
Stalin's first feeling after hearing this incident was surprise. He didn't expect that the 51st Army would suddenly direct its troops at Karachi at this ti.
"Comrade Stalin!" Motorov said: "The 51st Army Command completely ignores the orders of the superiors, and even deliberately deceives the superiors to act without authorization. Otherwise, other troops will follow suit! I think we should deal with it seriously. ..."
"What do you think we should do?" Stalin interrupted Motorov.
"Imdiately revoke Comrade Zolotarev's position as Political Commissar of the 51st Army Group and Comrade Trufanov's position as Commander of the Group Army!" They will be taken to Moscow for interrogation, we will thoroughly investigate this treasonous act, and then imdiately let the 51st Army continue to attack Milove..."
Stalin did not speak, he let Motorov talk about his thoughts, and stared at the map on the table, thinking while holding a pipe.
After a while, Stalin said: "And then? Do you think we can win the battle by doing this?"
"Of course, Comrade Stalin!" Motorov replied: "As we planned before, we will join forces with the Southwest Front Army, and then..."
"It is impossible to join forces with the Southwest Front Army!" Stalin interrupted Motorov again: "If there was hope before, it is impossible now! The main force of the 51st Army is already in Karachi, and the enemy's reinforcents have also arrived. Get close to Milloway, it's too late to attack!"
"These bastards!" Motorov gritted his teeth and scolded, "What did they do?"
"No, Comrade Motorov!" Stalin said: "They may be right!"
"What?" Motorov looked at Stalin in surprise.
"The Germans transferred an armored division to Miloway in ti, so the possibility of our joining forces with the Southwest Front Army will be reduced exponentially!" Stalin said: "At the sa ti... the 51st Army has turned to Karachi! At this ti Karachi is the enemy's weak point, understand?"
"Oh, yes! Comrade Stalin!" Motorov said: "You an to say that they hit right..."
"No, Comrade Motorov!" Stalin replied: "I believe they knew this would happen! This is their trap, and the Germans fell into their trap, which greatly increases our hopes of victory!"
"Yes, yes!" Motorov answered with so difficulty.
"So, you know what to do!" Stalin said.
"Yes, Comrade Stalin!" Motorov replied: "I will fully support their attack on Karachi!"
"At any cost!" Stalin added: "Because it is our only hope!"
"Yes, at any cost!"
Of course, Motorov would not say this to Trufanov and others. He said it with another attitude to make himself have a step down.
"We had a eting to discuss your behavior!" Motorov said angrily on the phone: "Although you disobeyed orders and acted without authorization, in view of your outstanding performance on the battlefield and the military ergency, we decided to Give you a chance to redeem yourself!"
"Thank you very much, Comrade Motorov!" Zolotarev knew that there was nothing wrong when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
But he imdiately asked again: "So, shall we attack Karachi now or return to Miloway!"
"Karachi!" Motorov replied: "Milove's fighter plane has been missed by you!"
"Yes, Comrade Motorov!" Although Zolotarev knew that this was not the case, how could he dare to argue with him at this ti.
"This is not an example, understand?" Finally Motorov said: "Similar situations are not allowed to happen again!"
"Of course, Comrade Motorov!" Zolotarev replied: "I assure you, this will never happen again!"
